POISON INTHEAsH
What the Mt. Lebanon Shakers
Found-Incident in the His
tory Of Quiet Community.


The Mount Lebanon (New
York; Shakers are a quiet COM
munity, secluded from the fret
and worry of the outside world.
They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that ma
ture has aremedyf for every dis
ease. A few have been found
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acct
dent. Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia Is a COM
paratively new disease, growing
out of the conditions of modern
life. 1t is a joint affection Of
the digestive organs and Of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli-
cation lies chiefly in the disord-
cred and depraved functions Of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus:-'If we can in
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre-
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat
tiers which remain after the life
giving elements of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys-
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. And they were right.
Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract (Seigel's

though similar diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
in this. To leave no ground
for doubt they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds Of cases
which had been pronounced IN
curable-with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed.
